Darren 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Anyone have any experience with these motors and 4 blade props? I know it's semi-scale, but I'm tempted by a http://www.warbirdsreplica.com Spitfire and it seems that an RCV60 might be a good motor. The 2:1 gearing also suggests that a smaller, multi blade but bigger pitch prop would be feasible Or should I just bung in the old reliable OS52fs Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 You can use a multi blade prop on anything within reason darren.. There's a DC3 in Avicraft right now with OS52s and 3 bladers. I had 3 bladers on my Irvine39s on the twin too. You just have to reduce the pitch or diameter by some factor that I forget. I'll look into it. Link to post Share on other sites
Darren 0 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Guys, Thanks for the feedback, been on the RCV engines website and they recommend a 13x13 4 blader with the RCV 60. Think this would be ideal for the 1/8 semi-scale spit (56" span) Time for a few phone calls and a flexing of the plastic I think Link to post Share on other sites
Darren 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yep I get all my petrol engines and parts from Just Engines - wouldn't use anyone else. I've ultimately decided to use the os52 I already have but it's always interesting to get feedback on alternatives. Link to post Share on other sites
